The Whitlams :: JAN 27
The Whitlams have released 6 albums and received ARIA Awards for Best Group, Best Song and Best Independent Release. One of Australia's favourite bands, and a groundbreaking Independent artist in this country, The Whitlams’ appeal reaches audiences of all ages and tastes. With lyrics described as having a “charming cynicism” and enhanced by an instinct for poignant melody, they won Best Group at the 1998 ARIA Awards, as well as Song of the Year and Best Independent Release for their 3rd album Eternal Nightcap. As if that wasn’t enough, who could forget them topping the triple j Hottest 100 in 1997 with No Aphrodisiac, holding off Blur’s Song 2, The Verve’s Bittersweet Symphony, and, err, Chumbawamba! With solo album Australian Idle also out on Nov 4, the busy Tim Freedman returns to the Quarry – the venue The Whitlams sold out 3 nights at in January 2009!
